A source says, Bill Cosby may opt to take a plea deal in order to avoid going to jail. He has been charged with three counts of felony aggravated indecent assault stemming from a 2004 incident with former Temple University student, Andrea Constand. A damaging testimony in which Cosby admitted to giving women Quaaludes in a 2005 deposition, could be used in Constand’s case. A source tells the NY Post that things aren’t looking good for Cosby’s case.
“He and his family, including his wife, Camille, are adamant that Bill won’t be able to convince a jury to let him off,” the source said. “They are hoping that the district attorney will feel as though he’s won with a plea deal and they’re thinking that the DA will consider Cosby’s age, his medical condition, the fact that he’s paid the victim on the case millions, and the fact that his career is over.”
The source adds that although Bill Cosby is considering taking a plea, he can’t help but to believe that there is some racial bias.
“[Cosby] truly believes that this prosecution is racially motivated. He’s rich, he’s famous and the world loved him. But if it were, say, a Robert Young or Fred MacMurray, if they were ever accused, America itself would not stand for it,” the source said.
